Actress Amanda Bynes is set to exit a rehabilitation clinic and return to her family home next month, according to a U.S. report.

The star has been under medical care since July when she was hospitalized on a mental health evaluation hold after reportedly starting a small fire on the driveway of a private residence in Thousand Oaks, California, following weeks of erratic behaviour.

After treatment at UCLA medical centre, in September the Hairspray actress was moved to The Canyon, a rehab unit in Malibu, which specifically caters for celebrities.

According to editors at TMZ.com, medical staff have reportedly succeeded in stabilizing Bynes through psychological counselling and are hoping to release the actress into the care of her mother, Lynn Bynes, next month.
